With his past as the screen's most famous secret agent now firmly behind him, Pierce Brosnan is looking ahead to his future projects, which includes a sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair. Brosnan will produce the follow-up via his Irish Dreamtime shingle.

"Thomas Crown 2, for all intents and purposes, will happen. The script came in two days ago and it's good," Brosnan advised Entertainment Weekly.

"We've announced it, we've said to the world that we're going to do it -- come hell or high water, we're going to do it. The bar is high on this one, the expectation is high on it."

Brosnan says the sequel, which EW claims will not include Brosnan's co-star Rene Russo, will see him "jumping back into the big budget world" after starring in indies such as The Matador and Seraphim Falls.

Brosnan would reprise his role as Thomas Crown, a rich businessman who moonlighted as a gentleman thief. The 1999 film was a remake of the Steve McQueen-Faye Dunaway classic.
